Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 28, 1919.

Application filed May 15, 1918. Serial No. 234,603.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM WV. PYLE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Erick, in the county of Beckham and State of Oklahoma, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Churn-Dashes, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple and efiicient meanswhereby the contents of a churn may be tempered to suit the conditionsof use and climate or atmosphere, without involving the necessity ofpre-heating or chilling the milk before introducing it into the churn.

With this object in view, the invention consists in a simpleconstruction and arrangement of parts, the details of which are setforth hereinafter, but modification of which as to proportions may beresorted to, within the scope of the claims, without departing from thespirit of the invention.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a sectional view of a churn with a dasherembodying the invention arranged in the operative position therein, saiddasher being shown partly in section.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the dasher proper.

The dasher embodying the invention involves a hollow head 10, preferablyprovided with radial arms 11 disposed, for example, in the form of across, although obviously any desired number of such arms may beemployed.

The arms are respectively hollow and in commimication with each other,and also in communication with a hollow stem 12 which extends verticallyfrom the plane of the head and is adapted to receive a suitable closure,so that after the tempering fluid such as hot or cold water has beenintroduced into the head, the accidental leakage or escape of the samemay be prevented.

In the construction illustrated, the closure consists of a dash-staff 13which may be effectively secured in the stem by providing the latterwith interior threads,-as shown.

Obviously, the use and operation of the dash are such as are well-knownin'the art, and the tempering liquid may be changed from time to time asrequired, with a minimum expenditure of time and effort on the part ofthe operator, to insure a proper separation of the butter-fat from theother contents of the churn.

What is claimed is 1. A tempering churn-dash having a 1101- low head anda hollow stem communicating with the interior of the head, andconsisting of a socket for the dash-staff.

2. A tempering churn-dash having a 1101- low head and a hollow stemcommunicating with the interior of the head, and consist ing of aninteriorly threaded tube for the removable reception of the dash-staff.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

W. W. PYLE.
